Oh boy, here we go. Not sure if I should respond to this or not, because I probably don't agree with much of the population here. Flame suit is on!

I don't go to strip clubs because I don't agree with what goes on there. Sure, it may all seem harmless on the oustide: who gets hurt while watching a beautiful girl naked? But is it just as simple as that?

I think doing this can lead to a disrespectful view/opinion of women as little more than eye candy and sex objects. If she's chosen to do this for some loftier purpose (paying for tuition...), maybe it's okay by her, but isn't she somewhat responsible for the people that come to see her dance? If I'm a guy that goes to strip clubs and views porn a lot, what kind of view will I have of women. Isn't that going to negatively affect the relationships I enter into?

I'm just raising some questions. Most of you know me as a pretty conservative guy on this board. I'm not trying to come off as a preacher and am certainly not as pure as newly fallen snow! I've been to the clubs and have seen some pretty off-color films myself. But I don't think there's any benefit to the stuff at all.
